Everybody’s favorite Raleigh artist in the eighties was David Larson. He has illustrated innumerable band posters, zine covers and most of the Paper Plant titles. His slightly spooky expressionistic pastel portraits grace many a wall in the cool homes of this town. The calendar offers a taste of his black and white work, with many tiny Larson portraits on the famous birthdates charted by calendar editor John Dancy-Jones. The twelve main images were created in Sharpie marker on square wooden boards from David’s employment at the Habitat for Humanity Re-store.
